The 900 acres of Sunrise Lake, at 9,100 feet elevation, is located 30 miles east of Pinetop on paved roads. Sunrise is one of the largest and best trout lakes with fish in the 15-20-inch range. Both trolling and shore fishing are excellent. Sunrise may get a bit breezy because it doesn't have the wooded areas to break the wind. This lake is open all year. Campgrounds, stores, gas stations and boat rentals are available at Sunrise Lake. To get to Sunrise Lake from Show Low: Start out going northwest on AZ-260, turn right on Sunrise Cutoff. Paved roads for easy access.
